APPLICATION OF ESTAFETA CARGA AEREA, S.A. de C.V.

FOR RENEWAL OF ITS TEMPORARY SECTION 40109(c) EXEMPTION TO OPERATE ALL-CARGO SERVICES;

PART 377 INVOKED TO CONTINUE AUTHORITY.
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C §40109 and the Department's Regulations and pursuant to Part 377 of th e Department's Regulations and 5 U.S.C. §558(c), ESTAFETA CARGA AEREA, S.A. de C.V. ("ESTAFETA") submits this application for the renewal of the all-cargo service exemption issued on January 10, 2012, (Notice of A ct ion taken--Docket OST-2001-8630)

au th or iz in g ES TA FE TA t o en ga ge i n ch ar te r ca rg o tr an sp or tation of property between points in Mexico, on the one hand, and points in the United States, on th e other, for a period of one year; and scheduled all-cargo services between (1) Chihuahua, Mexico, and Dallas/Ft. Worth,2

Texas; and (2) Merida, Mexico, and Miami, Flor id a; and (3) Cancun, Mexico, and Miami, Florida; (See February 16, 2007, designation by the
Gove rn ment of Mexico attached to our October 2007 filing). NOTE: Estafeta no longer seeks renewal of the D al las--Chihuahua scheduled
route.3 I. RENEWAL OF EXISTING AUTHORITY 1. ESTAFETA is applying to renew its cargo charter and scheduled cargo authority between the United States and Mexico. (See notice of Action taken on January 10, 2012). The governments of these countries have established a liberal charter authority regime for carriers of each country. (See DOT Orders 99-7-23 and 98-4-2). Estafeta has been awarded economic and operating authority by its home

cou nt ry t o en ga ge i n th es e ch ar te rs . E st af et a ha s fo ur B 73 7 an d two CRJ100 (CL600-2B19) freighters in its fleet for this service. Estafeta leases its aircraft and operates them with its own crews. The carrier began Mexico domestic operations in November 2000. The car ri er currently operates four weekly roundripts between Cancun and Miami; and one roundtrip a week between Merida and Miami. And cargo charters from time to time. Operations in 2013 are expected to be approximately the same as those operated in 2011 and 2012. 2. Estafeta r el ie s on the data it submitted with its original application. That information is still substantially correct. Since it began service to the United States, E st af eta has had no operating accident or incidents. It is unaware of any complaints filed against it. Estafeta is n ot a wa re of any enforcement actions from the Department of Transportation or the FAA. 3. ESTAFETA began service to the United States in January 2002.4. ESTAFETA is wholly owned and m anaged by citizens of Mexico.

The company and its key personnel have no interest in any U.S. or nonU.S. carrier, common carrier, or person substantially engaged in aeronautics. ESTAFETA is headquartered at San Luis Potosi's Ponciano Arriaga Airport and has a corporate presence in Mexico City. 5. The likel y U.S. points which ESTAFETA will serve on cargo ch ar te rs a re : L os A ng el es , Sa n Fr an ci sc o, S ea tt le , Ph oe ni x, Denver,
DFW , S an An to ni o, Ho us to n, St . L ou is , C hi ca go , M in ne ap ol is , D et roit, Atlanta, Washington Dulles, New York JFK, Orlando and Miam i. Such flights would depart or enter Mexico at: Merida, Sa n Luis Potosi, Cancun, Ti juana, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Chihuahua, and Monterrey. These are jus t th e anticipated likely origin/destination points for
the ca rr ie r. An y U .S . a ir po rt wi th ap pr op ri at e c us to ms fa ci li ties might also receive this on-demand service. The U.S. - Mexico charter bilateral establishes the comity and recipro ci ty required for the granting of this exemption (See Order 99-7-23). 6. Estafetadoes not see its using its Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas-- Chihuahua, Mexico, scheduled authority in the near term. Estafeta has no objection if that scheduled route is not renewed. 7. Invocation of PART 377 automatic extension : This renewal application is being filed before the expiration o f Notice of action taken dated January 10, 2012. Thus, Estafeta is relying on that Part
4377 for the automa ti c extension of its current authority pending

Department action o n th is renewal. Estafeta is not seeking any new authority in this application.

WHEREFOR E, E STAFETA CARGA AEREA, S.A. de C.V. requests the Department of Transportation to renew its exemption from §4130 2 of Title 49 to continue to authorize it to conduct scheduled and foreign charter air transp ortation of property between points in the United States, on the one hand, and points in Mexico, on the other, including schedu le d all-cargo services between (a) between Miami, Florida, and Merida, Me xico; and (b) between Miami, Florida, and Cancun, Mexico; (c) cargo charter services between points in Mexico and points in the United States; and (d) for other relief which is just and proper.
